Based on review of resident funds accounts, staff interview, and review of the facility resident handbook,
the facility failed to ensure residents had access to their resident funds at the facility. This affected two
residents (#8 and #14) of four residents reviewed for resident funds accounts. The facility identified six
residents (#6, #7, #8, #11, #13, and #14) with resident funds accounts. The facility census was 20.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
1. Review of resident funds accounts on 04/30/19 at 5:35 P.M., with [NAME] Specialist #147 revealed
Resident #14 withdrew $15.00 from her resident funds account on 01/30/19. Review of the receipt for
withdrawal revealed it was signed by two staff members, but not the resident.
2. Review of resident funds accounts on 04/30/19 at 5:35 P.M. with [NAME] Specialist #147 revealed
Resident #8 withdrew $50.00 from her resident funds account on 01/04/19. Review of the receipt for
withdrawal revealed it was signed by two staff members, but not the resident.
Interview with [NAME] Specialist #147 during review of resident funds accounts revealed the residents did
not sign for withdrawals as staff from the facility went to a sister facility approximately one mile away to
obtain money from the resident's personal funds account. She stated a staff member from each facility
signed for the withdrawal, but the residents do not sign for cash withdrawals. She verified there was no
petty cash kept at the facility. She stated petty cash from the resident's personal funds accounts was
available Monday through Friday 8:00 A.M. through 5:00 P.M. at a sister facility located approximately one
mile away.
Review of the facility Elder Handbook with a revision date of 11/2012 revealed elders may open a personal
account by signing up at the business office. This money was kept on deposit solely for use by elders.
Withdrawals of up to $50.00 may be made when the front office was open. A responsible family member,
friend or other trusted and interested adult should manage an elder's funds if an elder no longer wishes to
or was not able to do so. Staff members are not permitted to help elders with any financial matters.
